Binding specificity of RmpA2 to its target promoters. The 32P-labeled DNA probes of Porf3-15 (A), Porf1-2 (B), and PrmpA2 (C) were incubated with increasing amounts of His-RmpA2212 as indicated. Lanes: 1, no protein; 2, 64 ng of protein; 3, 128 ng of protein; 4, 250 ng of protein; 5 to 8, 500 ng of protein. Specific inhibition of binding was investigated by adding the indicated amounts of unlabeled DNA fragment of a target promoter: lane 6, 1 ng; lane 7, 10 ng; lane 8, 100 ng.
